About Your RO Water Treatment System
Thank you for your purchase of the AMI WaterAnywhere home RO reverse osmosis water treatment system. This
drinking water system has been designed for quick and simple installation and maintenance. By carefully reading this
instruction manual and following the operational guidelines you will ensure a successful installation and reliable operation.
Routine maintenance is essential to the longevity and performance of the system. Filters should be changed every three
to six months depending on the quality of the feed water supply.
Notice: Please read this entire service guide prior to beginning installation.
5 Stages of Water Treatment
Stage1: Sediment Filter Cartridge Replace every 3-6 months
The water first passes through is a five micron filter cartridge to remove sediment including dirt, sand, rust, grit,
and other suspended matter from water. This protects the rest of the filtration stages and equipment from
damage and clogging due to buildup of sediment.
Stage 2 & 3: Carbon Block Filter Cartridges Replace every 3-6 months
Next, the water passes through two stages of carbon filters to remove chlorine and objectionable tastes and odors
from water. These filters also protect the membrane from exposure to chlorine, which would irreparably damage
the membrane.
Stage 4: Reverse Osmosis Membrane Replace every 12 months
The RO membrane, the heart of the RO system, substantially reduces the total dissolved solids (TDS) from the
water, including arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium (hexavalent), chromium (trivalent), copper, turbidity,
fluoride, lead, radium 226/228, and selenium, while washing the rejected contaminants down the drain. The
treated water is directed to the storage tank.
Stage 5: Post Carbon Filter Replace every 3-6 months
The last stage of filtration occurs as the water flows from the storage tank directly before being dispensed from
the faucet. The in-line carbon post filter (also known as polishing filter) removes any remaining tastes or odors
from the water, improving the flavor.
Stage 6: Ultraviolet System Replace Lamp every 12 months
After the final stage of filtration, water is disinfected by passing through Viqua Model VT1 ultraviolet disinfection
system. The UV disinfection system is designed to protect your water from microbiological contaminants.
Notice: Replacement frequency varies based upon incoming water quality and use patterns.
Generally speaking, filters should be changed when there is a loss of performance
or after an extended period of non-use.
System On/Off Valves
Your RO System is equipped with two on/off ball valves. The system feed valve (to be installed into the cold water supply
line) can be used to turn the water to the system on and off for maintenance without disrupting the water supply to the
sink. The tank valve can also be closed to prevent water in the tank from draining out during maintenance. Both can be
opened by turning counterclockwise, and closed by turning clockwise.

Warnings
Only use this system on potable water supplies. Do not use this system where the
water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
Never use hot water or allow the unit to freeze.
Incorrect installation or operation will void the warranty.
Excessive incoming water pressure can cause leaks, flooding and property damage. It
is highly recommended to monitor your home’s incoming water pressure over a period
of 24 hours to determine if a pressure regulator is required.
Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damages incurred through improper
installation or use of these products.
Ensure that all tubing and fittings used for RO product water are poly material, and not
copper. Due to RO product water being very pure, it can leach the minerals from
copper tubing which will cause a metallic taste in the water or ice and cause the copper
tubing to develop pinhole leaks over time.

Preparing For Installation
Check the following list of components to ensure that all parts are packed with your system.
RO System
Manifold
A
ssembly
Filter Housing
Sumps
Filter Cartridges
(Packed in Sumps) Storage Tank Faucet Kit
Drain Saddle Feed Adapter Kit Tank Valve
Filter Wrench
Membrane Wrench
White Tubing
Recommended Tool List:
Have the below tools on hand before beginning installation. These are not included with the system.
Electric drill with ⅛”, ¼" & 7/16” drill bits
1-¼” hole saw bit for faucet opening – appropriate for the surface
you are drilling
½” and
7/16” open-end wrenches (or two adjustable wrenches)
Mounting screws or anchors appropriate for the mounting surface
Phillips screwdriver
Utility knife
Teflon tape (included)
Masking tape or duct tape
CheckLocation
Determine the location for the installation of the RO system. Avoid locations where the system might come
in contact with hot water pipes or other hazards. Electrical outlets are needed for the UV & pump power
supplies. UV Controller should be mounted to the wall (see “System Mounting” section).
Determine the location of the cold water feed line to use for the system supply.
Notice: Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot water supply line will permanently
damage the membrane (see conditions for operation). To assure you are using the
cold water line, turn on both the hot and cold faucet. After the water is warm to the
touch, feel the pipes under the sink. It will be easy to identify the hot and cold pipes.
Determine the location for the faucet. Check to see that drilling the faucet hole will not damage pipes or
wires running underneath the sink.
Determine the location for the storage tank. A maximum distance from tank to faucet of 15 feet is possible
(additional tubing will be needed). The system will produce a faster flow at the faucet with the shortest
tubing run from tank to faucet.
Assemble Filter Housings onto System Manifold
Remove the plastic wrapping from the filter cartridges and insert each cartridge into a filter sump.
Making sure the o-ring stays seated properly, screw the filter sump onto the appropriate cap. The filters
should be installed in the following order of flow (left to right):
(1) Sediment Filter H-F1005CF (2) Carbon Filter H-F2510AC (3) Carbon Filter H-F2510AC
Check to ensure the sump is tightly threaded onto the housing.

Prepare Tubing
When cutting tube lengths, it is important to ensure the system is
accessible for maintenance. During installation and measuring, it is
recommended to complete all of the tubing connections to the system
with the system in front of the cabinet (before mounting) to allow enough
slack for easy removal of the system for easier maintenance.
Measure and cut (4) lengths of tubing in the appropriate lengths for:
Feed line to system pre-filter inlet
Post filter inlet (tee) to tank
Post filter outlet (elbow) to faucet
Membrane outlet flow restrictor to drain
Quick Connect Fittings and Tubing Connections
To ensure a secure seal using quick connect fittings:
Cut tubing with the end square. An angled cut or distortion of the
tubing will not provide an efficient seal and may cause leaks.
Remove blue locking clip from fitting before installing tubing. Push
down on the fitting collet and remove the plug. Keep the clip. The plug
may be discarded.
Push the tubing into the fitting, to the pipe stop. The collet (gripper)
has teeth which hold the tubing firmly in position while the 'O' Ring
provides a permanent leak proof seal.
Check the Seal: Pull on the tubing to check it is secure. It is good
practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use.
Replace blue locking clip after tubing is installed.
To Disconnect: Ensure system is depressurized before removing
fittings. Push in the collet against the face of the fitting. With the collet
held in this position the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be re-
used.

Step 1 - Drill a Hole into the Sink for the Faucet
Notice: If your sink is equipped with a pre-drilled 1 ¼” or 1 ½” hole suitable for the faucet
installation, you may skip to step 2.
Notice: Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damages resulting from installing faucets
into any surface. It is recommended to use a licensed contractor for this step.
For this, step, you will need:
Masking tape or duct tape
Variable speed drill with ⅛” and 7/16” drill bits
1-¼” hole saw bit for faucet opening – appropriate for the surface you are drilling
Determine the desired location for your RO Faucet
The product water faucet may be installed on any flat surface at least 2” in diameter. Check the underside
of the location for interference. The standard faucet that is supplied with the system requires a ½” diameter
hole. The optional air-gap faucet requires a larger hole of ¾” to allow for the additional tubing connections
required.
Stainless Steel Sinks
Begin by placing a piece of masking tape or duct tape on the determined location where the hole is to be
drilled. Make a small indent to mark the desired drilling location using a center punch. Drill a pilot hole with
a ⅛” metal drill bit. Enlarge the hole using a ¼” metal drill bit, using factory approved method or approved
plumbing practice.
Porcelain/Enamel Sinks or Tile Countertop
Sinks of this type are very easy to damage due to the nature of the materials of construction. A successful
installation into these sinks requires a knowledgeable technician with the proper cutting tools. We strongly
recommend the use of a “Relton” type device. Follow the directions that accompany the tool carefully.

Step 2 - Faucet Installation
For this step, you will need:
Faucet assembly kit included with System
Tubing, cut to the appropriate length
Wrench
Install the faucet onto the
countertop/sink:
Find and identify all of the parts in the faucet bag, as
shown in the diagram.
Add the metal washer (2), and then the rubber seal
(3) onto the threaded nozzle of the faucet (1).
Place the faucet nozzle through the previously drilled
hole in the countertop or sink top, and let it rest on the
sink top.
From the underside of the sink, slide the washers
onto the threaded stem as shown in the diagram.
- (4) & (5) - made of rubber
- (6) - made of metal
Secure the assembly by threading on the locking nut
(7).
Check the orientation and alignment of the faucet and
washers, adjust as necessary, then use a wrench to
tighten the locking nut securely
Notice: Do not overtighten fittings.
Install the Tubing
Slide the metal nut (10) over the end of the tubing
with the threads facing up.
Add the plastic clamp (9).
Press the plastic insert (8) into the end of the tubing.
Slide the tubing (until it
stops) inside the faucet
nozzle and screw it in by
hand with the nut that was
placed on the tubing earlier
(10).
Connect the other end of
the tubing to the elbow in
the “out” end of the UV
System.

Step 3 - Drain Saddle Installation
Notice: Some states require the use of an air gap faucet. Check your local plumbing code to
assure compliance.
For this step you will need:
oMasking tape or duct tape
oVariable speed drill w/ ⅛” and ¼" drill bits
oPhillips Screwdriver
oDrain saddle assembly supplied with system
oWhite tubing cut to appropriate length
Select Location for Drain Saddle Installation
Select a location for the drain hole based on the design of the
plumbing. It should be installed above the trap and on the
vertical or horizontal tail piece.
Notice: Do not install downstream of a garbage
disposal, as this can cause
contamination and system fouling.
Install onto a drain location without a
garbage disposal.
Drill a ¼” Hole in the Drain Pipe
Starting with the ⅛” drill bit, drill a ⅛” hole in the drain pipe.
Use the ¼” drill bit to enlarge the hole. Clean the debris from
the pipe and the hole before continuing.
Notice: Take extreme caution to not drill through to the other side of the drain pipe.
Install the Drain Clamp
Apply the foam gasket inside the front half of the drain saddle: Punch out
the cut-out hole in the center of the pad, remove the adhesive backing, and
adhere to the inside of the drain saddle, ensuring the holes are aligned.
Place one half of the plastic drain saddle assembly on each side of the
drain pipe with the fitting, and clamp loosely using the nuts and bolts
included.
Align the hole drilled in the drain pipe with the hole in the drain saddle. A
drill bit or other long narrow object may be used to help align correctly.
Use Phillips screwdriver to tighten the clamp. Avoid over-tightening.
Connect Drain Line to RO System Reject Line
Insert tubing to the pipe stop in the quick connect fitting on the drain line and
check the seal.
Connect the other end of the tubing to the flow restrictor outlet coming from the
membrane brine port.

Step 4 – System Feed Line Installation
For this step you will need:
½” and
7/16” open-end wrenches (or two adjustable wrenches)
Teflon Tape
Feed Adapter & Ball Valve Kit
Tubing
Locate and Turn Off the Cold Water Supply
Locate the valve in the cold water feed line you use for the supply.
Notice: Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot water supply line will permanently
damage the membrane (see conditions for operation). To assure you are using the
cold water line, turn on both the hot and cold faucet. After the water is warm to the
touch, feel the pipes under the sink. It will be easy to identify the hot and cold pipes.
Close the cold water valve.
Turn on the sink faucet to drain water and relieve pressure from the lines.
If no shut off valve is located under the sink, or if water continues to come out of the faucet, turn off the
main supply at the entry to the house, then turn on the sink faucet to drain water and relieve pressure from
the lines.
Assemble the Ball Valve & Adapter Kit
Use Teflon tape to wrap the threads of the ball valve – approximately 3 wraps.
Screw the ball valve into the adapter.
Install the Feed Adapter into the Cold Water Supply
Wrap the slip joint adapter with Teflon tape, approximately 3 wraps.
For Flex Line: Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube from faucet
shank. Gently bend riser rube so that slip joint fits onto faucet shank. Make
sure the flat washer is on top and the cone washer is on the bottom.
Reinstall riser tubes onto slip joint adapter and tighten.
For Solid Copper Riser Tube: Same procedure as flex tubing except you
must cut a piece of the riser tube about ¾” to 1” so the slip joint adapter can
fit between faucet and riser tube.
Connect the Feed Line Tubing
Unscrew the nut from the ball valve. Slide the nut onto the tubing, threaded sides facing the end of the
tubing. Feed the nipple on the ball valve into the
tubing, pushing the tubing until it slides over the lip.
Slide the nut to the threads on the ball valve, and
tighten the nut down over the tubing. Use a wrench to
tighten ¼ turn past finger-tight.
Connect the other end of the tubing to the feed port on
the RO System.

Step 5 – Installing the RO Storage Tank
For this step you will need:
Storage Tank
Tank Valve
Tubing
Notice: Do not tamper with the air valve on the low side of the storage tank. It has been
factory charged to 8psi and covered with a black cap.
Install the Tank Valve & Tubing
Remove the blue cap on top of the tank to expose the
threaded in/out connection. Connect the tank ball valve
by threading onto the fitting. Do not over-tighten.
Notice: Do not add teflon tape to the tank
fitting. This will prevent seals from
engaging and may cause leaking.
Insert the tubing into the quick connect fitting on the ball
valve.
Connect the other end of the tubing to the inlet tee of
the post-carbon filter on the RO system.
Additional Point of Use Connection (Optional)
Notice: Ensure that all tubing and fittings used for RO product water are poly material, and not
copper. Due to RO product water being very pure, it can leach the minerals from
copper tubing which will cause a metallic taste in the water or ice and cause the
copper tubing to develop pinhole leaks over time.
An additional connection may be made to other equipment such as an icemaker, refrigerator, coffeemaker, or
other equipment. This requires an additional tee fitting and extra tubing. It is also strongly recommended to
install an in-line ball valve between the RO system and the equipment, to be closed during startup and
maintenance.

SystemMounting
Wall mounting is recommended for this system. Dry wall anchors and screws may be necessary (not included
with the system).
Mark screw locations at the desired positions. Use the two holes on the back of the RO System mounting
bracket for marker guides.
Screw the screws into the mounting wall on the marked positions. Use an anchoring device appropriate for
the type of material you are screwing into.
Hang the purification system onto the screws by the holes on the back of the unit.
Mount the UV controller horizontally to the wall, near the UV chamber.
Ideally place the controller above the chamber and away from any
water connection point, to prevent any water from potentially leaking
onto the controller by means of a leak at a connection point or a
“sweating” system. Make sure you allow for a “drip-loop” as shown in
the following diagram on the UV lamp, UV sensor, and power cord,
again, to prevent any water from potentially entering the controller.
Turning the System On for the First Time
Make sure all water supply and drain line connections are secure and free from leaks.
Plug the system into the ground fault interrupter and check controller to ensure the system is operating
properly. The controller should illuminate without any alarms. Wait 5 minutes for UV lamp to reach full power.
Slowly turn the feed valve counterclockwise until fully open (the handle should be in line with the tubing as it
enters the connection). Check the stem seal for leakage. If necessary, tighten stem nut lightly.
Plug the pump transformer cord into an electrical outlet.
Turn storage tank valve one quarter turn counterclockwise to open the valve (the handle should be in line with
the tubing as it enters the connection).
Open the product water faucet and let the water flow until all the air has been expelled from the system. This
will take about an hour.
Close the product water faucet. In 30 minutes, check the system and connections for leaks and correct if
necessary.
Do Not Use the First Two Reservoirs of Water
Allow the reservoir to fill for 4-6 hours. Dispense this water to drain. This process
removes the factory installed sanitizing solution from the entire system and sends it to
the drain. Repeat this process one more time. Allow the tank to fill for 4-6 hours and
dispense this water to the drain. Do not drink this water!
Notice: Air bubbles may be present in the product water after initial system startup, causing
a milky color in the water. This is normal and safe to drink. The air bubbles will
disappear within a few days of regular use.
Notice: Check back frequently in the first 24 hours to ensure no leaking has occurred.
Notice: When there is no flow, the water in the UV cell will become warm, as the UV lamp is
always on. To remedy this, run cold water for a minute to flush out the warm water.

System Maintenance
Notice: Unplug the Pump & UV before perorming any maintenance to the system.
Notice: If your RO system is connected to an icemaker or other equipment, you must turn off
the connection to the equipment before performing any maintenance.
Membrane Replacement Instructions
The membrane should be replaced every 1-2 years, depending on the water quality.
Before starting, shut off the cold water supply to the unit and unplug the UV system. Lift the handle on the
faucet to drain out the storage tank completely and allow the system to stand for 10 minutes in order to fully
decompress the tank. Leave the faucet open until the membrane change is complete.
1. Unscrew the fitting to the cap of the membrane housing. Use the membrane wrench if the cap is too tight.
2. Using pliers, pull out the old membrane from the housing.
3. Remove the new membrane from its bag.
4. Insert the membrane in the housing in the same direction as the old membrane.
5. Push the membrane firmly into the housing until it seats on the far end.
6. Screw the housing cap back on, making sure the o-ring is positioned correctly.
7. Screw the fitting (with tubing) back onto the housing.
8. The system is ready. Turn on the water supply. Check for any leaks.
9. Drain the first two tanks of water before drinking.
Filter Replacement Instructions
All pre and post-filters should be replaced every 3-6 months.
Before starting, shut off cold water supply to unit and unplug the UV system. Lift the handle on the faucet to
drain out the storage tank completely and allow the system to stand for 10 minutes in order to fully decompress
the tank, reserving some of the RO water to use to rinse the filter housings. Leave the faucet open until the
filter change is complete.
1. Remove pre-filters from filter housings. Use a filter wrench if the housings are too tight.
2. Discard used filters, but save o-rings for re-use.
3. Clean inside of all housings with a mild soap solution, and then rinse with RO water.
4. Lubricate the o-ring and replace in filter housing.
5. Insert the new filters into the appropriate housings and replace the housings onto the system.
6. Disconnect the post-filter by removing the fittings on either end. Replace with new post-filter and re-use
the existing fittings. (Feed end tee is connected by a short length of tubing, remove this and use to connect to new filter.)
7. Follow the normal Start-up Procedures. (Drain the first tank of water after changing the filters before
drinking.)
Ultraviolet (UV) System Maintenance

Replacing UV Lamp
UV lamps should be replaced every 12 months. The quartz sleeve can be re-used, but is very fragile. It is
recommended to have a spare quartz sleeve on hand in case it is broken during the lamp change.
Close the system feed valve and the
tank valve to cut off the water supply.
Turn on the faucet to release any
pressure in the lines. Disconnect
main power source and allow the unit
to cool for 10 minutes
Using a small container to drain
the water inside the UV and
tubing remove the inlet and outlet
tubing to the UV. Remove the
UV from the clips on the system.
Holding the chamber vertically,
remove the lamp connector by
squeezing the plastic locking
tabs on the side of the
connector.
Remove the UV lamp in upward
direction from the UV chamber and
lamp connector base.
Hold the UV lamp at the ceramic
ends.
Insert the new UV lamp fully into
the UV chamber leaving about
two inches of the UV lamp
protruding from the UV chamber.
Attach the connector to the UV
lamp and note that the
connector will only allow correct
installation in one position.
Push the lamp connector against
lamp connector base together until
an audible click is heard.
Redommnect the inlet and outlet
tubing. Restore power and
repressurize the system to check for
leaks.
NOTICE:
Refer to www.lamprecycle.org for UV lamp disposal.
Do not use water during replacement of UV lamp.
As UV does not provide a chemical disinfection residual, it is
imperative that the entire distribution system located after the
UV be chemically disinfected to ensure that the plumbing
system is free from any bacteriological contaminants. The
disinfection process must be performed immediately after the
UV unit is installed and repeated thereafter whenever the UV
is shut down for service, without power, or inoperative for any
reason.

Cleaning and Replacing Quartz Sleeve
Note: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be removed because
it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. If the sleeve
cannot be cleaned, it must be replaced.
Prerequisites:
Shut off water supply and drain the line.
Place a small pail under the unit to catch any spills.
Remove the UV lamp. Refer to Previous Section.
Remove the bottom retaining nut,
floating spring, and Oring.
Remove the top retaining nut and
O-ring.
Carefully remove O-ring adhering
to the sleeve. Remove the quartz
sleeve.
Clean the quartz sleeve with a
cloth soaked in CLR, vinegar or
some other mild acid and then
rinse with water.
Note: If sleeve cannot be
completely cleaned or it is
scratched or cracked, then replace
the sleeve.
Reinstall the quartz sleeve in the
UV chamber allowing the sleeve
to protrude at equal distance on
both ends of the UV chamber.
Reinstall the top and bottom
retaining nuts, floating spring, and
O-rings respectively.
When service is complete,
assemble the prerequisites in the
reverse order of disassembly.
Push the lamp connector against
lamp connector base together until
an audible click is heard.
Plug in controller and verify the
POWER-ON LED display is
illuminated.
Re-pressurize the system to check
for leaks.
Notes:
1) After replacing the UV lamp or
quartz sleeve, perform the disinfection
procedure.
2) If the system is put on a temporary
by-pass or if it becomes contaminated
after the disinfection system, it is
necessary to shock the system with
household bleach for a full 20 minutes
before resuming the use of the water.

Sanitizing
We recommend sanitizing the system at least once a year. This can be done while changing your filters. Shut
down the system. If you have an icemaker hook-up installed, be sure the ball valve in the line to the
refrigerator is in the closed position during this procedure. Open the faucet to drain the system, including the
tank. Remove the pre-filter cartridges and RO Membrane from the system, leaving the old post-filter cartridge
in place. Wash the internal filter housing & membrane housing areas with warm soapy water and rinse well to
remove the soap. Pour about ¼ teaspoon of Hydrogen Peroxide or household bleach into each filter housing
and replace housings on the RO system. Open the feed water valve and open the RO faucet until water flows
freely from the spout. Close the faucet and hold the solution in the system for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Drain the tank completely, close the faucet to allow tank to fill again, and then drain again. Replace filters and
membrane as indicated in the replacement instructions. The post filter should be changed after sanitizing the
system. Repeat the “Turning the System On for the First Time” procedure (page 13.)
*Note: It is recommended to chemically disinfect the entire distribution system located after the UV. To
ensure water being routed to external equipment is microbiologically safe and does not contaminate the water
in the system, this equipment and leading plumbing must be disinfected according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
